Stevie Wonder v Ray Charles

[Steve Q]

So which blind musical genius do you like better?

Ive been getting into Stevie more and more these days, but Ray Charles is still the man

What say you?

[Natty P]

Stevie by 40000000000000000 miles.


Ray was great though.

[NickT]

Do we spin them round three times first?

Stevie by 40000000000000000 miles.


Ray was great though.

indeed

no one can even come close to good stevie

[Donal DeLay]

Ray Charles.

Any other answer is wrong.

[David Martindale]

Both great, but I subjectively choose Stevie

[LenNWallace]

I gotta go with Brother Ray, but I'm a Georgia boy who grew up on a lot of his music, so I may be slightly biased.

You're a Georgia Boy?!?!


:rock: So am I!

[LenNWallace]

You're a Georgia Boy?!?!

Yeah, haven't lived there in a very long time, but I miss it terribly sometimes. Hopefully some day, I'll get the means to move back to Atlanta or something. I grew up most of my life here in Kentucky, but Georgia's still the only place that feels like home.

Spent 23 years (my whole life pretty much) In GA. I am now in the great state of CO but I Miss my Thunder Storms and the Trees. Also, Savannah is like the coolest city in America.

[Jerome Gibbons]

Are we pitting them against each other because they are both blind black men?

[JoeE]

Tough call. On one hand I want to say that Ray Charles was more innovative, more of a boundary-pusher...but his catalog can't even come close to competing with Stevie Wonder's '70s albums. His music output during the 1970s is absolutely mind-blowingly amazing.

[Steve Q]

Are we pitting them against each other because they are both blind black men?

Yep. And the fact that they're both awesome

[Sy-Klone]

That is such a difficult question. I love 'em both.

But if I had to choose, I'd say Stevie. Ray Charles is a legend and all praise for him is well deserved, but I enjoy Stevie's stuff just a little bit more.

[Cuckoo]

I grew up on more Ray Charles, but I really enjoy them both.

[Caley Tibbittz]

Ray. But I HATE Stevie Wonder with a burning passion.

[JoeE]

Ray. But I HATE Stevie Wonder with a burning passion.

I don't get how it's possible to hate Stevie Wonder. I mean, the man is a genius at creating songs to make you smile.

[Caley Tibbittz]

I find his voice and singing style beyond grating.

[james michael]

its all about the head roll that all blind musicians do, and stevie has the awesome hair to really bring it into full effect, so he wins...

[costello]

I love that song he wrote, "Watching the Detectives"... oh wait... "Master Blaster."

More like Blind Melon.

[Scotty]

Ronnie Milsap

Ya get points for orginality.

[TheGibson]

Ray Charles, hand's down. (Where's the poll?)
